Suddently can't Sync with Vista - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Dear All,
My Hermes suddently can't sync with my PC. I don't remember when is the last time it could sync with PC (either before upgrading to Vista service pack 1 or before repairing the flexible cable of my Hermes)
All contacts, calendar, Task, and notes on my Hermes gone and can't be sync with PC which contain all of these.
I've tried to connect-disconnect Hermes, reinstall windows mobile Device Center for Vista 32 bit, soft reset Hermes --> still the same, can't sync.
Every time connection between Hermes and PC on, Windows Mobile Device Center turns to "Error" or "connected" with "Set up your device" link.
Every time I click the "set up your device", It stop while "setting up partnership" at 45% with message "Changes to syncronization settings with Server ActiveSync could not be made at this time". After I click OK on the pop up message, it goes to neverending syncing mode.
Thank you for your help.
Hermes:
Windows Mobile 6.1
ROM version : Pays ROM
ROM date : 11/06/07
Radio version : 1.47.00.10
protocol version : 32.80.7020.20H
PC:

I have the same problem. even redid my whole computer. I am running vista ultimate. I tried several roms that worked before but no success.

@cloud_kjo
Did you try to uncheck "USB to PC" in the settings/connection? Did you pair your phone with your PC and try syncing with Bluetooth? also, run a disk cleanup on your PC...if that does not work than try a different rom.
I have had simular problems with some roms. I found that that after flashing a Rom, I set up the time and put my name in the owners information, then I pair my Bluetooth and then sync my phone. If after flashing a new rom and I set up a lot of programs, most of the time it will not sync and I get an error.
also there is system restore on your PC .
Hope that helps
@jamal1782 Bummer, What did you redid? First I would uninstall and then reinstall WMD 6.1, then I would run a disk cleanup, run ccleaner, Flash a wm 6 oem rom and see if that will pair and sync...if you still have that problem, change USB ports, also look in Device Management and see if any USB ports are corrupted. Maybe you have a short in your USB connector
Here is a link that might help out...http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1762&SiteID=65

Dear Pumpiron579 thanks for your advise.
Have done the steps. Finally, the final solution is to re-flashing the hermes with another ROM. However because the stupidity of me, I forgot to back up the SMS messages content from my hermes. Now I lost all of them.
Is there is any way to recover the SMS?
Thanks.

Cloud, which ROM did you choose?

Try running this file http://toril.ru/pda/akrndisadd.exe on your phone. It works every time my phone stops synching.
Geoff

All I do when this happens is delete the Windows CE Services"folder" under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ tree of the windows registry.
If that fails, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2806941&postcount=2

Look People I was suffering from the same problem for a week and finally I found a solution for it
Guys you need to reupgrade your HTC USB Sync
Do this steps :
connect your phone to the pc even it didn't sync
Right click on Computer then properties then Device Manager from the left bar then Double click on Mobile Devices then right click on HTC USB Sync then Update Device Software then click on the second choice (Browse my computer for driver software then another click on the second choice again (let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer) then choose HTC USB Sync(Microsoft Corporation) then your USB will be updated and the sync will work after restart your pc.
Hope I helped you.

Bizarre ActiveSync Error

I have a Siemens SX66 from Cingular running Mobile 2003 and a laptop running XP SP2, Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync 3.8 and I can't get them to sync. The PC's ActiveSync shows the "Looking for Changes" message and then it shows a quick "Syncronization Error" message and then it goes to "Not Connected". I have been diagnosing this for several weeks with no solution in sight. I have an old IPAQ that syncs just fine with this PC. I have taken the SX66 to two other PC's, both with fresh images and new installs of ActiveSync and get the same thing. I have hard reset the handheld and soft reset it several times. I have switched from the cradle to a direct cable so I could try the serial port. I have checked all of my pst files with scanpst to resolve any errors that existed. It seems a few other people have had an issue that was similar and it seems to have magically resolved itself but mine just keeps hanging around. :evil:
I'm just wondering, does it sync okay via wifi? Have you installed any applications that adds to the sync process? Have you tried USB sync from a fresh Hard reset? And last, have you tries older/newer ROM or radio ROM (read wiki for how-to)?
My unit was an SOB when I first got it. Trial and error fixed it and it didn't happen in less than a week.
Have you tried deleting the partnership & then creating a new one?
I have tried to hard reset it several times. I've tried to start the whole process before and after I reloaded saved data to see if my local data was corrupt. I've deleted the partnership. I've uninstalled ActiveSync and reinstalled. I've tried to sync via USB, serial, bluetooth, and infrared. I've also tried the outlook repair tools (inside outlook and the pst report tool outside of it) on the PC. I've even taken it to a totally different PC with a fresh local version of Outlook. Siemens tried to tell me that its because I'm using Outlook 2003 and ActiveSync 3.8 doesn't work with that but that isn't true according to Microsoft's web site. I can't get ActiveSync to work so I can't install any software on it or upgrade/downgrade the ROM. I am running the latest and greatest ROM on the device.
Interestingly, if I set up the partnership as a guest partnership, I can explore the device just fine from my PC so I know that ActiveSync has a good link established.
To me, it looks like the whole ActiveSync chain gets connected and then it tries to read from Outlook on the PC and on the handheld. One or the other of those two things or the exchange of change information down the ActiveSync pipe is what breaks things but there are no diagnostics anywhere to tell me why or what to do about it.
Try to go into AS --> Options and untick all the option in the main box. That will will cause it not to sync with oulook. Maybe there is something in oulook that is keeping it from syncing.
Good suggestion but I've tried that (I just tried it again with a new partnership on a new PC to be sure). It doesn't give me the "Looking for Changes" message but it gives me the "Synchronization Error" message and then goes to "Not Connected". Keep the suggestions coming as something has to make this work.
You have just about tried to sync at the lowest basic level. It the above doesn't work, barrow another sync cable or take the unit to a shop and have them try to sync it with there cable and pc. You have figure out the problem
1. The USB cable/pins
2. The unit itself
3. Your PC or lappy (i doubt it though)
4. while you are there, ask them to test out activesync via wifi if they can
Delete AC from your PC- Reboot - Install AC on your PC, sync will most likely work again.
Had the same problem my self.
Thanks for the suggestion but I've tried that several times already. In fact, I have started from a fresh image on a different PC and get the same issue. Is there a way to do the same thing on the handheld without ActiveSync working? I'd like to remove its ActiveSync and freshen it but I don't know how I'd get a new copy installed since it won't sync.
Don't know how to just Install AC on your BA.
I Would try to Reflash the device with
1) The same Rom -> If it diddn't help
2) A Different Rom
I finally got it to work although I can't believe the solution. If you've gotten this far in the thread I hope that you have an SD card in the phone because that was the whole problem for me. I don't know how it works but if I have my SD card inserted when I connect the phone to the PC, it will error out every time. If I don't have the card in when I connect, it works just fine. Obviously, this appears to be a problem for Siemens to resolve but simply removing the card (as foolish as that sounds) may get you through this issue. Thanks for the assists and I hope that this solution helps someone.

[Solved (quite)] Trouble syncing my PPC with ActiveSync over Bluetooth

Hi everyone!
I have already posted this thread on the Modaco forum but I'm still getting no answer. I'm posting it here. I know there are a few threads about ActiveSync problems but none of them solves my problem!
I'm using an Orange SPV M650 (French branded HTC P3300) for a few monthes now, and I've been successfully syncing it with ActiveSync over Bluetooth from the beginning. At this time, I had created a BT COM port with the Windows Bluetooth stack, configured ActiveSync v4.5 to authorize connections through that port ; then paired my PDAPhone to the computer and checked the "ActiveSync" option that was available in the services listing. I was then able to sync using the ActiveSync application on my PPC.
A few days ago I deleted the USB Bluetooth dongle on my laptop from the "Device manager", it's been installed back successfully on the next reboot BUT now I can't synchronize. The "ActiveSync" service no longer appears in the services list of my computer from the device's BT configuration tool. I only have "Serial port" showing.
Reinstalled ActiveSync twice, didn't changed anything.
What should I do?
Thank you!
(here are a few screenshots, French language used)
Up! Nobody's an idea?
i can only suggest something i do when i have similar problems:
1. uninstall everything involved
2. manually clean up all involved registry keys
sometimes, the remainders of not completely uninstalled programs can cause problems if you install them again.
i never ran into your specific problem, but trying this will at least make you forget your synch problem for the 60mins you are busy.
...and sometimes, above procedure even helps!
I had to reinstall from scratch Windows XP for other reasons and the thing is still not working! I really don't understand, I'm wondering if I'm not doing something wrong... How should I do?
Hey..
Hey found this manual for you..
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/activesync+via+bluetooth?t=anon
Thank you. It's exactly that way that I'm trying! The problem is at step 12, the only service available on my paired computer is a "Serial port", not ActiveSync. I double checked that ActiveSync was properly configured on the correct serial port and it is...
i had this problem with XP, i sorted it out, but cant remembe quite how i did it, i have a feeling it was to do with the COM ports that you use for blueooth. upgraded to Vista and no problems, my suggestion is to go to vista, its much better then XP and everything works.
I have hardware unsupported under Vista (pro-soundcard) and my computer is a little bit too old (512 MB of RAM are fine with XP, won't be with Vista). Anyway I'm okay with XP, I won't change my OS just for an ActiveSync problem.
Anyway I updated my Artemis with the B&B 3.7 WM6 ROM and now it works... Was a problem on the phone I guess.
Thank you for your help

Vista Sync Issues

Hi All, I have a Hermes with WM6 and have just installed Vista Ultimate and am not able to get my Hermes to Sync.
Vista claims it does not recognize the device . . . I have tried via USB & Bluetooth. Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance.
Same thing happen to me the first time what ROM did you use? I just use Fun key rom and everything works great.
Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed?

Even I have wmc6.1 installed, my computer doesn't recognize my Hermes starting from build 1921, it opens it as a storage device only, but no syncing !!, downloading Starbase's ROM right now and will try...
Vista has issues with everything its a pile of *beep*
I am also having similar issues. I just got my new laptop that runs Windows Vista Business and I can get WMDC 6.1 to sync and see the device but it will not load my contacts and calendar onto the latop. Its becoming very frustrating and I'm not sure why it won't sync the data. I'm running the vp3g 3.62 rom on my phone.
Try this...
Click...
Start-> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
Uncheck the box "Enable advanced network functionality"
if it is already unchecked, then try checking it. That seemed to work for me when I had problems with WMDC.
Still the same results for me. My phone can connect to the computer... it just won't sync the data.

Install Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista from Windows Download center. Then everything will work fine. It is my experience.
One thing that might help from my experience:
Take out the microSD card. I had some problems with it inside my phone - no sync. When I took it out everything worked fine! Then I formated my card and problem was solved... don't know what it was all about.
Last month i uninstalled the wmdc and then reinstalled it... i got the connection right but not always...
THen last week i had to reinstall windows and then when i did and update , i got an all new WMDC. This version works fine and good... No issues now...
I have the latest WMDC and have tried everything so far mentioned still and still no sync!?!
Very frustrating.
Any other ideas? Am I missing something really basic.
I have done something right!
After downloading WMDC finally the Jasjam was recognised however when trying to sync the following error occurs:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To check your connection settings, select Start, then Settings, then Connections."
So i went to that part of my phone but have no idea what I should be checking!
All help with this is much appreciated (if only things would just work )

Syncing problem with Vista SP1

My ASUS P525(WM6.1) has problem syncing with WMDC 6.1(also with WMDC 6).
When I plug in the phone, I heard a connected sound two times.
Not long after, there appears to be a disconnected sound just one time!!
Meanwhile the device disappear in My Computer, and WMDC shows error.
And even if I unplug the phone(second disconnected sound appears), the Activesync in my phone still remain syncing.
I looked up the Event Log in the Control Panel of Vista SP1.
Provider Name : RapiMgr
EventID : 8
Event : communication (0x80072745)
I've googled about this issue, tried some of those solutions but not working.
Dose anyone got the final solution??
Need your help!!

Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Windows Vista?

Try this,

But no good!
Anyway, thanks for your reply!!

I have same problem... I already tried many tricks but without sucess. After upgrade my kaiser to WM6.1 official ROM, I can't sync anymore in VistaSP1 WMDC (latest). Is there anyone who solve this problem?
Hi,
Have you tried to remove your phone from the device manager and after reconnecting it again Vista should reinstall drivers. Or perhaps updating driver will help too.
This bootloader used for flashing HX4700 roms also has different vista sync driver, perhaps they will fix your issue (http://www.freetrafficsite.com/BootLoader.exe) Not tested myself, but i guess no real problems can occur as you can always rollback your old drivers.
Exe file can be extracted with winrar and you'll see the vista folders. Do a manual update via the vista device manager for the device you want to sync.
More on how to change driver at STEP 5 on Post #58 at http://www.modaco.com/content-page/252977/ruu-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/page/40/
Please use at own risk as i dont have your phone
Cheers.
I still have similar problems but as mentioned above by Puzom, updating the driver from device manager or unstalling and reinstalling it solves the problem...Rarely you need to soft reset yor device more than once....

SYNC trouble???? HERE"S THE FIX!!!!

Everyone's having problems lately with the new Roms and sync w/ Vista. I've used this on my last 5 Roms and it has worked every time.for WMDC (vista activesync) to work go into the device ID and name the phone "Pocket_PC" exactly how I typed it........no qoutes. ....oh and BTW make sure your Schaps Config also names the Device Pocket_PC
Let me know if it works for you
UPDATE!!!
ADDED: remove the advanced config program from your phone that works also!!
Any luck anyone?

I don't have anything running vista, but it's something nice to put in the memory banks just in case I ever run across the problem.
Maybe someone will give it a whirl.
Thanks for the tip!
Don't have a Vista box here @ work, but will try it later tonight. I wasn't having as much as an issue with it as some people. Sometimes I would have to kill mobsync and restart it for it to work.... I'll give this a try and see
Haven't had any problems synching with my Vista 32bit but if I do I'll try this..thanks
No Problem with Vista64 SP1
I have my 8525s named as such and have not had a problem synching or flashing with either my Vista64 SP1 desktop nor my Vista32 SP1 notebook. Thanks for your post, however!
This is weird because i have been having this issue lately too. Also my father with the same phone and different computer is having the same issue.
Seems to happen when im switching roms. FYI iv tested many Minella2d roms.
questions from a noob
I just got this phone, and my only other ventures into ROM changing was a Motorola ROKR E6 seems similar but I am trying to figure all of this out without a users manual, software disc, just by reading and trying to download.
My questions are how do I change the name of my phone. When I power on it says that it is pocketpc I already went to microsoft and downloaded the info for viista wdmc but I don't think that the computer recognizes the phone other than the auto play feature.
THanks
Tried your fix and, I am afraid, it didn't work for me. My Hermes still fails to sync after the intial setup.
not yet
I only changed the setting in the Shaps advanced settings under Friendly Name... and it still doesn't work... what is the other place you have to change it? thanks!
followed all steps u said and still no luck
not connecting to my PC is killing me

after you are able to sync again,the activesync green and yellow icon will pop up on your task bar just open it and delete the old partnership.

if your phone is connected your good to go another way you can go to activesync is in Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Sync Ceter
I am not sure if I should post here or under Schaps' rom thread. I have Schaps 4.31 rom. For 4 days now my 8525 stopped syncing with the computer, but in the same time my contacts and my events/calendar on the phone disappeared. I reinstalled the rom again, I reinstalled the Windows Mobile 6.1, with no effetcs. When the computer odes the first sync and set-up it says that I don't have the outlook installed. I have it on the computer, and on the PDA I have the office. So I am kind of stucked. I tried the Pocket_PC ideea, but the only thing now is that the Windows Mobile Center stops working in the middle of syncing, and ... no results.
Thanks for help

it connected once and only once. After that i have to uninstall the device in device manager, unplug the phone, soft reset the phone, plug it in, and let it reinstall the driver. this happens every single time i need to connect to my PC.
VERY frustrating
Vista and sync issues
I have two 8525 phones - under Vista, one would sync, one would not. I kept getting the RNDIS error and unrecognized device. I connected the one that was good, and went to the device manager to get details about the drivers used.
I connected to one that did not connect, and got to the point where I could specify the driver location, pointing it to C:\Windows\WindowsMobile worked for me.
